Syracuse University Southside Initiative

An old barn that was razed on South Salina Street on Syracuse’s Southside is now the address of the Eat to Live Food Cooperative. The décor of the store is just as colorful as the produce on the shelves. It's a dream come true for The Southside Community Coalition and Syracuse University's South Side Initiative Office. Organizers feel it will make shopping for healthy foods more accessible in the neighborhood. President Shirley Rowser says customers will also become more informed about their own food choices.
